Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"I can still smoke while taking this medication"
Rationale:
💠Smoking while on estrogen therapy significantly increases the risk of thromboembolic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke.
💠Estrogen promotes coagulation changes, and nicotine causes vasoconstriction, compounding cardiovascular risks.
💠Patients should be counseled to stop smoking if prescribed estrogen, as the combination is highly dangerous.
💠Other statements acknowledge potential drug interactions, but smoking is a modifiable lifestyle risk that must be addressed.
💠Client education must emphasize safety measures, especially avoiding behaviors that increase clotting risk.
